Hate crimes trial in Arbery killing will put racism up front
Russ Bynum
Brunswick, Georgia | Sentenced to life in prison for murder, the three white men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery will soon stand trial on federal hate crimes charges in which jurors will have to decide whether the slaying of the running black man was motivated by racism.
The sentences imposed by a judge on Friday (Saturday AEDT) in Glynn County Superior Court concluded the state of Georgia’s criminal case in the slaying of 25-year-old Arbery, in which a jury returned guilty verdicts the day before Thanksgiving.
